Trajtenberg says a trillion shekels is kept from public

Zionist Camp candidate Emanuel Trajtenberg says state financial institutions are “sitting on a trillion shekels” which effectively belong to the people of Israel.

“It’s a hard number to grasp, like a long search result on Google,” he jokes. This money is “inaccessible” to Israeli families , but this should change, he says.
